Description: 
Amount of CO2 respired during the incubation. Calculated from DO consumption by subtracting initial water column DO concentration from final water column DO concentration and assuming a 1:1 ratio of O2:CO2. Normalized to control values, mussel SFDM, sample volume, and incubation time (umol C/g SFDM*h)
